. LOCAL DENVER PLATFORM.
We, the Labor Party Club Of Denver,
hereby adopt the following platform and
declaration Of principles, 70 the support Of
which we ask the adherence Of all honest
and thoughtful men:
weare the party that, at the spring elec
tIons, polled In this city i,5ao votes, VIC
since then have held weekly agitation meet
ings for he purpose Of studying the cats e.
and remedies OF poverty, misery. vice and
orime In this republic and the common
wealth Of Colorado, det. rmined hat wher
such were ascertained by the light Of sci
ence, that we would embody them In oul
platform and call upon all men 10 aid In ar
uprootIng OF tho conditions that cre'te these
Affections, through the medium Of the ballot
II we .hould waste our time on side issues
or Keep silent, or remain slavishly In the
ranks Of the old parties, the very stones al
our feet would cry out. Murder Is commit
ted day by day through The Infamous wage
system. Children are slain. women worked
10 death, men killed in,h by Inch, and these
crimes are never punished by law. The AZ
fairs Il this land are administered by the
capitalist class for their own benefit. They
deny us justice, liberty and the full proceeds
Of our labor. The mechanic sinks TO slav
cry, the farmer falls 70 tenancy! This ad
minIstrallon of affairs suits US no longer. Il
leads to disastrous consequences. In 1t Il
rot only physical out mental ana moral ueg
radiation. While one part Of US are worked
10 death the others out Of employment art
starved 10 death. There " hlth. injustice,
drunkenness, prostitution and theft. There
shoald DO light, liberty, law, civilization and
Justice.
Tho competitive wage system is the cause
Of all this. It's remedy, science tells US, liee
In the cooperative association Of the collect
i've people: In the assumption and opera
tion Ivy them Of the natural resources, the
tools of production, the mediums OF ex
change. communication and transportation
In 80 far as these things can be carried
out, these means enforced, these ideas pu
into pnst,cr. We are pledged py this plat.
form through 90! nominees, X elected u
apply the remedy.
Let the workers and thinkers rally TO tn,
support OF the Right
